xx I'm a kind, loving, lovable (I sometimes be Love), genuine, and concern teen. I've suffered childhood truama from my father, and I've been going through certain symptoms as I pushed to my adolescents. e.g. Emotional instabily (emotionally crippled), suspicion of others, strange phobias (such as getting into or going near cars), I act on sudden impluses, Yes, I am a self-harmer, I stopped for nearly a year then had my last relapse 3 weeks ago, I have some kind a introverted anger (or pent- up anger that I'm afraid of letting out, that's one of the main reason why I self- harm), and I have a hard time when it comes to relationships with others, I don't even have a stable relationship with my family, mainly because of my mood swings- Oh yeah! The mood swings.. I have a lot of those and it's unexpected, such as, I could be having a O.K. day and feel perfectly fine, then I may see a car, or a fight or anything and that will just get me angery and then I start to lash out a little verbally, like catch an attitude. I don't even know what my hot-buttons are! I really want to know what's wrong with me right away so I won't do anything that I'll regret... So what do you think? xx

    K I voted yes because, while common aka normal, but its not altogether healthy. Mood swings, frustration, short temper, anger at parents.... All normal parts of being a teen. It would probably benefit you to find an outlet, like running or yoga. Find something you enjoy doing, a regular activity you dedicate yourself to will ground you better.

    But if it gets to the point of you harming yourself, its time to go chat with a doctor. Note that I'm not saying you need medication - but a psychologist or psychiatrist is a great, unbiased listener to whom you can just vent all your frustrations to, and they can even give you advice to calm your angry moments.

    First thing I thought of was: borderline personality disorder... but get psychological help first, if you think you need drugs then go to a neurologist, and if he does not find a biological base and you still feel not ok, then, as a last resort go to a psychiatrist.
    Hope you go out of that shitty thing, I've met people with the same characteristics you describe.
    Best of luck.

    xx Thank you all so much for taking off your time to answer my dire question that I've been asking myself for so long! And I really appreciate all your advice and concern. Let me tell ya, it's not easy, nor is it fun being me! I try to tell my mom that I think I may have a psychological personality disorder but all she says is: "Well Brittany, everyone has bad personality sometimes!" So I think I may have to wait until I can get diagnosed which is in years. But I'm afraid to wait that long b/c something may happen and I probably won't be able to reverse it, you know? But I thank you all so much anyway, hehe! xx

    Your a self-harmer because you been through a of abuse. Your body, mind, and spirit get a satifation feeling from the abuse, giving you peace of mind to function normally. i've been through a sustainable amount of abuse myself, but never to the point where i harm myself. Seek a doctor or just talk to someone when you feel the need to self-harm.
